Thanks so much Elliott you have been one of the best instructors iv had. You have been very kind calm and patient, Throughout my driving lessons you always explained in detail what we was going to learn and new when to move on to the next thing everything was with ease no rush which made me feel very comfortable.
100% I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about learning to drive

So happy to have passed my test it may have taken me over 40 hours but thanks to Elliott I passed and I am so happy to say I can now drive on my own

Elliott is an amazing driving instructor would recomend to anyone he is easy to get along with he explains things really well would 100% recommend him to anyone.

Elliott is a brilliant instructor, always calm and patient in any situation. He has made me feel at ease while driving which has allowed my confidence to grow.

Elliott is an excellent driving instructor who clearly thoroughly enjoys his job. He is extremely passionate and knowledgable. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Elliot has helped me a lot when it’s come to under How to drive he made it so easy to understand and never rushed me to do anything I don’t want to

Being a mature learner, I was extremely nervous about learning to drive. Elliott has a natural ability to make you feel at ease, and his support has been amazing! I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone looking to learn, especially if you are nervous or anxious about doing so. My test is booked, and I can’t thank him enough for his support, knowledge and understanding.

Teach lessons very good

I had confidence issues due to a past instructor and took time out of lessons I found Elliott and from the first lesson he has been absolutely amazing my confidence grew straight away and the nerves went and I looked forward to my lessons each week! I can not thank Elliott for what he has done and would highly recommend him to anyone. I have already asked him to teach my son next year! Thank you again!

After a long and tiresome instructor search I think it was a sign finding Elliot… He’s a great instructor and a great person! Elliot’s calm and collected manner really puts me at ease when driving. He truly makes what can seem to be such a daunting experience, an exciting one! Learning to Drive is definitely much more enjoyable now….I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the future. Can’t appreciate his skills enough!!

Elliot is an amazing teacher, very patient and positive! You couldn’t find anyone better! I’m only a few lessons in and I’ve already learnt so much. I would 100% recommend him, especially if you are nervous as he is great at building self confidence and is very calm on the road.

From start to finish elliot took control of what needed to be done (no pun intended) he instantly set my goals and helped me achieve each one. He was incredibly professional and actually listened to everything I was questioning. I've had a few instructors over time and never felt as comfortable as I did with elliot. Respect and thanks for everything

A big thank you to my instructor Elliot and also Drive Johnsons for introducing the best instructor ever. He is very professional, calm and friendly and knows how to make the driving experience stress free which I believe is the key to learning. Being an absolute beginner he helped me build my confidence in no time and made me progress at my own pace. Looking forward to have more lessons and would highly recommend him to anyone who is willing to be a safe, skilled and confident driver.

Elliot is an outstanding instructor who has helped me over the last few weeks to pass my driving test and I did with ease after all that he had taught me I definitely recommend

Before I switched to elliot I had failed 3 tests and decided to switch , in 2 months I passed first time with elliot I would recommend him to everyone

I started learning with Elliott and it was a great experience from start to finish. He was confident, friendly and made a great impression and it was overall a great experience.

Elliot is a life saver!!! My driving instructors car broke down the week before my test. Messaged Elliot and he was happy to help, taught me so much and helped with my nerves before the test. Would highly recommend and worth every penny.

Quality driving instructor who genuinely makes driving simple and comfortable, absolutely loved learning with Elliot couldn’t recommend him enough

Elliot is an absolutely great instructor. Hes a very patient, chill guy who gives you space to learn. He’s also very friendly and treats you with respect. I passed in less than 2 months of being with him!

Great instructor, couldn’t ask for a better one, completely recommend to any. Not only do I learn I enjoy it :)

Really good driving instructors. In a few lessons i feel confidence and comfortable in a car and he makes it simple for anyone to understand with the best demonstration and terminology. 10/10 you will be lucky to be taught by him

My son passed his driving test first time this week after taking lessons with Elliott. I cannot recommend him enough - he is very passionate about his job and does it in a calm and patient way. I have already booked my younger sons driving lessons with Elliott when he turns 17 in a few months time.

Couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor within Bury. Always reliable, extremely helpful with learning how to drive, park and other various manoeuvres. Very friendly driving instructor that I could recommend more to learn and drive with.

Elliot is one of the best instructor out there who knows how to teach his students how to drive within few lessons. Not only that he’s very calm and patient with me when I make mistakes in driving and ensures that I don’t repeat it again. He’ll certainly advance your driving skills to ensure that you can easily pass your driving test.?

Elliott was an amazing driving instructor, he was very supportive and helpful from start to finish. I would highly recommend Elliott to anyone looking for driving lessons, hes such a lovely person and has helped me overcome so many fears when driving and gave me the confidence I needed to be able to pass my test!!!

I cannot recommend Elliott enough as a driving instructor. He has taught all 3 of my children to drive. My son passed first time today. If you are looking for a driving instructor, look no further and make contact with Elliott today.

Elliott’s been the best instructor I’ve had. He’s very calm and patient. He gives lots of good practical advice and tips on difficult manoeuvres. I would highly recommend him.

I could not recommend Elliott enough. I have only had one lesson with him but in that hour he has made me feel much more confident and comfortable driving after being put off by previous instructors.

Elliot helped me a lot learning to drive. Not only he teaches you to pass a test but also teaches you to be a good driver and make the roads a safer place

EASY 5 star rating for Elliot. Had few instructors before him and didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere till I got in touch with Elliot. My driving improved significantly. First time pass. Only regret is not getting in touch sooner!

Couldn’t recommend this guy more, really teaches you how to drive not just for a test but for life. He’s the instructor you want!
Put up with all my bull***t too! Top guy

Elliot is a brilliant driving instructor. He was patient, friendly, answered any questions that I had and I ended up passing first time! Make sure you book in with him!!

I highly recommend Elliott as he is an amazing driving instructor who is very calm and encouraging throughout lessons and before a test. He puts 100% effort into focusing on struggles and creates helpful techniques to overcome them, making you understand things with ease. Elliott also calmed my nerves on many occasions and built up my confidence in driving, which has lead me to pass my test with flying colours.

WHAT A GUY. Makes you feel comfortable and chilled with no stress or pressure. And gets you the best results no doubt.

Absolutely amazing I felt so confident with my driving , he went through everything I didn’t understand and gave me examples , was the best instructor I’ve had he is very friendly and never forces you nothing you don’t want to do you will be lucky to be Taught by him

Elliot has been amazing with me. He is the most patient instructor I have had and he makes lessons enjoyable too. Thank you so much for all your hard work to get me where I am! ?

Quality instructor and amazing guy!

Elliott is a really great instructor. He’s really patient and has been able to easily talk me through manoeuvres and has made driving so much easier! Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Was great to learn to drive with both driveJohnson's and Elliott was a great instructor. He helped me to ace my test and to pass both first time and with only one minor.

The best instructor I have had. Goes through and explains everything that your struggling with, is always making sure you are confident before moving onto the next thing, friendly and easy to get a along with, highly recommend :)

My instructor Elliot is patient. I feel comfortable on each lesson and he explains what we are going to do in each lesson clearly and answers any questions I have for him so that I understand everything. Definitely feel safe in the car and would highly recommend??

Elliott is a great instructor and over the 30 hours he helped me to gain more confidence on the road. I was lucky to have passed first time and with no minors aswell.

Great instructor!!! Tried for months to find the right person, and Elliot is the best by a mile. I get quite stressed and Elliot is such a calming influence. He’s also really flexible around work hours etc. I think I’ll pass in no time for thanks to this man.

elliott is a brilliant driving instructor, very patient and understanding.

Top quality instructor who makes the whole experience stress free, confidence inspiring and just generally enjoyable. If you wanna pass first time you need an instructor with a talent for teaching like Elliott does. 10/10

Fantastic driving instructor! Elliot helped me improve my driving and pass my test within a very short space of time. Elliot is a very fair, patient, and friendly instructor that gave me confidence in my ability to drive. I felt like he had done everything to prepare me for my test and for driving after. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor.

I have tried to learn to drive for a while but it wasn't until I started to learn with drive Johnson's and Elliott as the way he teaches makes it easy to understand. It didn't take me long and it feels great to now be able to drive my own car around town.

Loved loved loved Elliott he was amazing he made me feel so comfortable and so confident, I wish he could teach me everything as he is an amazing teacher and I couldn't have passed without him

Brilliant teacher, becomes a friend more that a teacher, loved being in the car with him

Elliot was professional and an amazing teacher! He is the patient instructor and he makes lessons enjoyable too. Couldn’t recommend enough! Big thank you for all your help, patience and encouragment. Thank you!

Test tip of the month for Swinton

You won’t be marked down for constantly checking your mirrors, but your examiner may think you are being excessive. Whilst you can’t be marked down, checking them constantly may affect your concentration on the road ahead.

Useful driving test tip for Swinton Show more

Useful driving test tip for Swinton

If you are doing a manoeuvre and you get too close to the kerb, don’t panic! Firstly, stop so you can assess your position better by looking in the door mirrors. The next thing you will need to do is take a shunt forwards to create some space, so when you go back into reverse you can adjust the steering sooner. Lastly, don’t forget to keep up all round observations throughout the manoeuvre.
